I remember how upset and angry people were when he was leaving us. The way his career has developed since only justifies that it was the best decision for him. 2 UCL winners medals in the bag since leaving Inter.
to be fair, how many minutes did he play in those 4* finals?
Across his career, he's played 30051 minutes in 491 games, thats an average of 60 minutes a game - Lukaku, for example, is 74 minutes average a game, Brozovic is an average of 78 minutes a game, De Vrij is 83 min per game (I just picked a few people off the top of my head as examples, not cherry picked)
Dont get me wrong, great on him for winning those CL medals, and he's obviously done well since leaving Inter, but he's never *quite* been the outright starter that he could have been imho
his first CL medal, 15/16, he played 34 mins in the latter stages of the CL, with 0 min in the final
16/17 - he played a total of 6 minutes in the latter stages of the CL, 0 in the final
17/18 was a bit more regular - 174 minutes in the latter stages, 0 in the final, and started two games in the run up
20/21 - 264 minutes, 10 in the final [albeit this season it looks like he was the regular starter but then missed 3 games to injury]
great for him though, 4 medals and a total of 10 minutes in the final. ben foster would be proud. Arnautovic would have that shit stitched on the back of all his boots.
